He shot by chance. The shot hit a balloon which woke the baby making the mother lose the cart which ran into the cop setting off his gun shotting a nun. That then in which caused them to panic and run over the mother cause the childern to run infront of the cop car to get hit. Which then knock the cop car over to the nun parade which resulted into a flaming wreck killing everyone… while the target get away.
Did I miss anything?

What could Lothar do?
They all obviously tempted fate, especially that policeman.
I wonder if, in the EN universe, there now exist Kennedy-like theories of how a lone gunman made a shot that killed the target, a cop, several kids (while hitting all the baloons they were carrying), a mother, her baby, and a whole parade of nuns with one bullet.

I imagine a punchline of Rogue commenting to Virus, ‘Well, at least *one* of the shots hit the target…’, obscuring the violent ranting of a mop-toting Eastwood to a non-caring Lothar–who only responds with ‘Well, at least I rememebered to put the seat up *this* time!’

Holy shit, how did you even make that connection? Is that just from the portrayal in the comic, or did you read additional info in one of our old resources? The answer is yes. I created Xandius Blackwing shortly after reading the Eisenhorn trilogy. He used to have minor psyker powers too, but I dropped that because it was too Eisenhorny. And with his myriad skills he was getting a bit Mary-Sue (which is exactly what he and Damien ended up parodying, of course). I hadn’t realised there was anything left that would cause anyone to make the leap. He, like Gregor, is just a dour, frowny, srs bsns inquisitor.

So now, Lothar has 3 hats. His regular hat, his urban camo hat, and his Firefly-Viewing Hat. The question is, does he have hats for other occasions? Jungle Camo? Digital Camo? Desert? It’s these kinds of questions that keep me up at night, man.

It would be extremely funny if, for once, Lothar actually got the target without any casualties. A nice change of pace, the other characters congratulating Lothar on doing something decent and good for once…
